Chapter 484: Who's on stage, who's singing?! [four]
The venue for the negotiation was temporarily set up as a drinking party, and a seemingly friendly negotiation was over, and everyone needed to use such a banquet to build a little friendship with each other.
Li Tomb clinked glasses with Earl Winster, "I would like to thank Your Excellency for arriving in time this time." Otherwise, the Twin Eagle Empire brought out Qinzhuang, and I would really be a little overwhelmed. ”
"Huh."
Earl Winster smiled and looked at Reinhardt next to him, "It's up to Lord Reinhardt to say more good things for us in the United Council in the future." ”
"It should. Now that the contract has been signed, it is not known when the first phase of the development of the new river system will begin. ”
Reinhardt said impatiently.
The contract was signed quite smoothly, in fact, there was nothing to talk about, both sides had no intention of continuing to entangle, the interests of the entire Xinhe system were added to five, and half of one side came simply, as for how to distribute the internal affairs next, that was another matter.
From this point alone, the Muller Federation actually suffered a small loss, but it is obvious that for Reinhardt and Winster, the interests of the Muller Federation are damaged, obviously insignificant, the important thing is to complete the development of the new river system as soon as possible, and really take the interests of the new river system in their hands.
This, I believe it is also the idea of most of the nobles present, and the previous Double Eagle Empire also thought like this, but the Muller Federation has always been a little unwilling, after all, the jump point of the new river system is in the hands of the Federation.
But now, the general trend is the same, and the Federation can only succumb, and Li Tomb can't fight much at this point, not to mention that this is what he wants.
"Regarding the development of the new river system, I will urge the government to implement it as soon as possible."
Li Tomb spoke. Raising his head, he saw Ram at the door of the banquet and nodded, "I have something to do, so I'm out of company first." ”
Watching Li Tomb put down his wine glass and leave, Reinhardt's eyes flickered. He looked at Winster and whispered, "Do you think he's really happy with the current contract?" ”
Winster took a sip of his wine, "What do you think?" Replaced you, can you be satisfied? ”
Reinhardt stopped talking, and nodded thoughtfully.
"But don't worry too much, although his future is good, but after all, the foundation is too shallow, and it is also appropriate to sacrifice a little profit to win us over. If he doesn't even understand that, that's really disappointing me. ”
Winster said with a smile.
Reinhardt asked with a frown. "Oh, you're so optimistic about him?"
Winstar nodded and said, "Being able to be favored by the Prince, do you think I can not value him?" The last time I saw him, he was only a viscount, and it was only a long time before he had caught up with us. If you think about the time when he became a nobleman, you can know that his future is limitless. ”
"That being the case. So how do you? ”
Reinhardt was a little confused. If Winster is really so optimistic about the Li Tomb, then how can he choose to harm the interests of the Li Tomb.
"Still don't understand? I want to sign a contract. Then the contract can only be signed in this way, half of ASEAN, half of the West, wherever it is placed, it can only be signed in this way. However, in terms of internal benefits, I have decided to give him my share. ”
Winster laughed. "He is a smart person, otherwise he would not choose to sign a contract." So you have to know that for him, just sign an acceptable contract. Then stopping a potentially endless war between the Twin Eagle Empire and the Muller Federation was the thing that really mattered to him, the de facto ruler of the Federation. ”
"Then you will give him your own interests, and you will regain what you have lost, and you will be grateful to him."
Reinhardt understood what Winster meant, and was dumbfounded.
"Hehe, it's just a necessary investment, anyway, I have time, and I can wait for the harvest slowly."
Winsette nodded and said.
"You have a good plan, but I'm afraid he has already understood you, otherwise why would he be in a hurry to find you to come over and give him a town. Tsk, I thought he was looking for you to come over to shake that Qinzhuang, but now I think about it, it's me in this town. ”
Reinhardt shook his head and laughed.
The two pondered Li Tomb's intentions here, and on the other side, Qin Zhuang, who was attending the cocktail party, had his eyes flickering, and when he saw Li Tomb at the door, he didn't know what to say to Ram, so he snorted coldly, "This guy is mixing well." The people of the Black Prison Empire are really rubbish, and they actually let him survive. ”
The faces of the people on the side suddenly changed slightly, and they were relieved to see that Oda Shin not far away didn't seem to hear it. But Qin Zhuang was still a little unhappy, and shouted at Oda Shin, "Oda Shin, why don't you catch up with your old friend?" ”
Oda Shin was stunned and glanced at Qin Zhuang, "It's your business!" ”
"Two, two."
Viscount Fia had a headache, and when he saw that Qin Zhuang and Oda Shin were about to quarrel again, he hurriedly came out to play a round, "Now that the contract with the Federation has been signed, let's discuss each other's contributions, right?" ”
"Guys, I think we'll have to wait a minute."
The general suddenly spoke, interrupting Viscount Fia's words, his eyes flickering, "There is something I think it is necessary to tell you. ”
The general suddenly raised his voice, so that all the nobles present unconsciously fell on him, but Li Tomb, who was standing at the door talking to Ram, changed his face drastically, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the general.
A sneering smile appeared on the corner of the general's mouth, "Don't you think the signing of the contract this time is too smooth?" I know that His Excellency Li Tomb very well, he is not the kind of person who will choose to suffer. ”
"Damn. General, do you know what you're talking about? ”
Li Tomb's face turned pale, and he glared at the general viciously.
Seeing that Li Tomb suddenly lost his demeanor, Qin Zhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he snorted coldly, "Don't worry about him, you continue." I'm curious about why. I also find it a little difficult to accept that someone who dared to attack the base of the Divine Spirit Project has become so honest now. ”
"If I had been replaced, I wouldn't have signed such a contract."
As he spoke, Qin Zhuang also raised the contract template in his hand.
"I'm peace-loving, can't I?!"
Li Tomb said fiercely, but everyone could see his lust and guilt.
"Tsk, you have to tell the 300,000 Xiwei people you killed first."
Qin Zhuang sneered and patted the general's shoulder, "Go on." ”
"Some of you probably remember me. That's right, I used to be friends with His Excellency Tian Guang, and I learned some news from him, but I didn't think much about it at first. But Li Tomb, you shouldn't have invited me out for tea yesterday. ”
The general laughed, "Although I haven't really figured out the news left by His Excellency Tian Guang, you are too eager to cover it up, but it makes me react." You agreed to sign the contract because you wanted to develop a new river system in a hurry, right? ”
"So the question is, why are you in a hurry to develop new river systems? Sir Fia, I remember you said that one of your country's exploration teams was once attacked by a nobleman in the New River system, right? ”
The general asked Viscount Fia.
Viscount Fia's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Not bad." I was about to tell you about this later, but from what Your Excellency meant, it seems that the nobleman is ......"
Viscount Fia didn't continue, but everyone's eyes fell on Tomb Lee.
"Hmph. At that time, the war was not over, and I entered the new river system to hunt down the invaders, was there a problem? ”
Li Tomb's face had become extremely ugly, and his eyes were staring at the general.
"Alright. Don't dwell on that just yet. General, you go on and say, what exactly did he say when he invited you to meet yesterday? ”
Qin Zhuang waved his hand and continued to ask.
"He wants to buy a star map that I have. A star map of the new river system left by His Excellency Tian Guang. ”
The general sneered, "Originally, I didn't care, but when I saw this clause in the contract. ”
Everyone followed the general's gaze to the unobtrusive contract on the contract, in which the joint development fleet of the two sides must be formed within half a year, during which time the new river system jump point must be under the supervision of the federal fleet.
There doesn't seem to be any problem with this contract, although everyone understands that Li Tomb's request to add this one is a bit greasy.
In other words, according to this contract, only the Federation will be able to enter the new river system within half a year, which means that the Federation has the right to loot the new river system in the next six months.
Although there is this kind of cattiness, everyone also knows that in the entire contract, the Double Eagle Empire actually took advantage, in order to avoid a rebound of the Federation, so there is not much meaning for this article.
Anyway, it's only half a year, and no matter how much the Federation loots, it won't be able to take much away. But now that the general has pierced through this, and there is a new river system star map of the Tianguang era that Li Tomb wants to buy, it can't help but make people reverie.
If there is some kind of precious material in the new river system that can be developed and looted in half a year, then everything makes sense. But what will it be?
The people present frowned and thought about it, in this era, all kinds of natural resources have become extremely cheap, and there is not much mining in half a year, except for those precious materials announced by the United Council.
Thinking about it like this, it seems that the target is easy to lock, and the primordial essence gold in the first place doesn't need to think about it, that thing is very moving, and everyone suspects that it is not naturally generated, even if it is naturally generated, it is definitely only one or two pieces, and there is no need for Li Tomb to spend so much trouble at all.
So what is most likely?
I can't get it for the time being, but it's extremely precious, and it can be plundered within half a year, and the nobles present will pull through the precious resources that can be thought of in their minds, and someone will soon think of it.
While not certain, it is definitely the most likely answer. (To be continued......)
